Full Movie Reviews

It's been awhile since I read the graphic novel but when I found out they were making an animated movie based on the book, I was excited, I couldn't wait to see it then when I found out it was being shown on HBO &amp; not The Cartoon Network like I expected it was going to be, I was even more excited.I thought it was going to be (For some stupid reason) exactly like the graphic novel.I guess it's true, the book is always better than the movie.Watching Batman: The Killing Joke was like watching an episode/movie of Batman: The Animated Series but with sex &amp; extreme violence.This movie was not for the kids.Since it was more like watching Batman: The Animated Series, the sex &amp; extreme violence felt unnecessary.It didn't add anything to the movie at all.If this movie was supposed to be...
